A Movement to Soppr Them The Laws oa the Subject Hilika. Mont, Feb. 19. It is possible that In a short time some arrests will be made for the violation of the Lottery Law. and a test case made either In the Silver Bow or Lewis and Clark Courts.

It is a well known fact that lotteries are openly conducted In Montana, and the business of selling lottery tickets is extensively carried on. though both appear to be prohibited by law. Sec 2, art 19. of the Montana Constitution reads: ''The Legislative Assembly shall have no power to authorire or gift enterprises for any purpose, sad shall pass laws to prohibit the sale of lottsry or gilt enterprise ku in this Stats." This would seem to pr bibit the conducting of lotteries or the n.tle of tickets, as it Is geoera.ly cono i'mI the constitution repeal all Territorial lairs In cotifliot with its provisions. At the last session of the Territorial Lgl.

lature a law was pas prnhltmlng In Montana. This law Contains ae section providing that lotteries xistmg prior to the psiag of the act. and having alvrted orawings to take nlae after May 1. 1S. the date at which the law took effect, should on that date piace their affairs to th hand of a receiver to be appointed by the court, who hall finish op the business.

Last May the Montana Lottery placed their business In the hands of a receiver, and have been continuing it In that wsy ever since, claiming, it Is aid, that the law permit this. The intent ef the law was avIJsutly to provide all loiter lee, and to allow but one drawing after the 1st of last May. If the lottery company are right, they will be allowed to operate until further legislation oa the subject What lends Interest to this question at present It that it is reported that the Louisiana Lottery ichtmeri, who were detested in ot North Dakota, are negotiating to buy out the rotten Company, so as to gam lootnoia this Mate.

Maurice Healy. member for Cork, asked the government in the House of Commons to day whether, sirifee the refusal of John Dalv, a life convict lu Chatham prUon, to connect the FarneUiteg with the dynamite outrages, he had been treated with enhanced severity by the prison officials. Mr. Healey requested that a sworn inquiry be made as to Dalv treatment, or that members of the House who desired to investigate the matter be allowed the same access to the prisoner as allowed the ageut of the London Tintes. Henry Matthews, secretary of Mate for home affairs.

nid he had no authority to grant the request for a sworn inquiry. He denied the alterations against the prison official, and said Daly stated that he haa no complaint to of his treatment. Mr. Healy then asked: "Was Daly nearly poisoneu In reply. Mr.

Matthews said the prison dispenser had put too much bf lladona in a prescription for Daly. He had since been suspended for his neirlfirence. Henry Laboauhere asked whether the government intended to demand a vote for the expenses of witnesses who testified before the Parnell commission. William L. Jackson, financial secretary to the Treasury, stated that no demand of that nature bad been made upon the Treasury.

Bsron De Worms. Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, intimated that the official telegrams (rom the Cape of Good Hope denied the report of a Boer raid into Matabeia land. Henry Campbell Bannernan, borne ruler, nieinoer for the Stirling distrust resumed the delate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech. He summed up the case against the government by declaring it had wilfully resorted to coercion when coercion had proved to be worse than useless. The government's whole Irish policy, he said, was one of persistent wrong doing.

There could be no pacification of Ireland as long as their existed alienation of the masses aud destruction ot popular confidence in the admuihstratiou of justice. Mr. Balfour said that since he bad been Secretary lor Ireland he had replied to a constant series of votes of ceasure all much alike, backed by much vioient language, but by no substance or fact Brutal attacks upon his government, exactly the same aa those made by llr. O'Brien, were made bv the press upon Earl Spencer and Sir George Trevelyau. Mr.

O'Brien appealed to the Speaker to say whether it was in order to impute to him "brutal and savage attacks." Mr. Balfour withdrew the epithet "brutal." but quoted an article from Mr. O'Brien's paper wherein Earl Spencer was described as a dullard in politics, whose temper was soured because he was a failure socially, and who while in office was guilty of gratifying his vindictive feelings by turning the law into an instrument of murder and outrage, who did not punish crime, but shielded nameless infamies. The wiid phrases were in tha: time the current coin of the Parnell party. During the present debate his administration of affairs in Ireland had been compared to the tyranny of Russia although everybody knew that the comparison was nonsensical.

The endeavor of the government was to free Ireland from the bondage of an unscrupulous conspiracy, to suppress intimidation, to give to the people the common rights that all people are supposed to possess in civilized country. The system of terror is involved in the plan ol'campaign and boycotting was contrary not ony to general law, but to common morality, and absolutely destructive ot the simplest elements of freedom (cheers). It was admitted by the opponents of the government that Ireland is now peaceful and prosperous. Some few years more of a steady and just administration of the law would re establish there the elementary principals of civil society. He trusted that the House and the country would continue to support the policy that had done so much for Ireland.

At the end of the debate the vote was taken on Mr. Parnell's amendment to the address, which was rejected, 307 to 240. DREAMED OF HIS SON'S DEATH. ABoyPnnUhed by Bis Father Commits Suicide. Ssow HnuL.

As he did a man dropped into it. "I beg your pardon, said the young r10" "I didn't get up to give you a seat." "But I got it," said the man. "I intended it for the lady," said the young fellow. "But I got it," retorted the other with a sneer. He was the bigger man, but the young fellow's hands descended on his shouidors and he was on his feet and on the platform before he knew it.

A Gigautic Skelatow. The following paragraph from The Dublin Freeman's Journal of August, 1812, seems to show that men of gigantic stature were not unknown in Ireland in prehistoric times. "It is not a little surprising, considering our veneration for Irish antiquities, that no notice should be taken of the skeleton recently disinterred at Leixlip. This extraordinary monument of gigantic human stature was found by two laborers in Leixlip churchyard on Friday, the 10th when making a kind of sewer, near the Salmon leap, for conveying water, by Mr. Haigh's orders.

It appears to have belonged to a man of not less than teu feet in height. It is believed to be the same mentioned by Keating Phelim OTool, buried in Leixlip churchyard, near the Salmon years ago. In the same place was found to be a large finger ring of pure gold. There was no inscription or characters of any kind upon it, a circumstance to be lamented, as might throw a clear light upon this interesting subject. Our corrusondent saw one of the teeth, which was as large as an ordinary forefinger."
